Pedestrian Rights Under Nueva York Sin Culpa
If you were struck by a motor vehicle as a pedestrian in Nueva York, you have the right to Sin Culpa medical benefits through the auto insurance policy of the vehicle that struck you — up to $50,000 in medical coverage, regardless of fault. If the vehicle was uninsured, you may be able to claim through the Accidente de Vehículo Motorizado Indemnification Corporation (MVAIC).
This Sin Culpa coverage is in addition to any lesiones personales lawsuit you may file against the driver. You can receive Sin Culpa medical benefits AND pursue a PI claim simultaneously.
